NIL money has added a new variable to the long-held practice of college coaches trying to flip recruits who have given verbal commitments to other schools. The NCAA rules providing college athletes the ability to earn revenue from their name, image and likeness provide new artillery for recruiting wars.

Some coaches worry about the potential abuse of NIL when recruiting high school athletes and also when trying to lure players from other schools through the transfer portal. “I think that NIL at its core is certainly a positive thing relative to the student-athlete and deservedly so,” Kelly said Wednesday. “They own their name, their image and likeness. It’s when a third party begins to be involved in the process and, you know, wants to make it pay for play. And that’s why coming up with a plan that is a lot more centered around sharing and revenue and the universities being much more active in it is a better place to be.
